Dispatch Recordings
Founded in 2001 by the Hidden Agenda brothers, Dispatch Recordings has established itself as a cornerstone of the UK drum and bass scene. Initially conceived as a continuation of their earlier series on Metalheadz, the label quickly evolved into a platform for both their productions and those of emerging artists. Early releases featured contributions from Artificial Intelligence, Zero T, Survival, and DLR, setting a precedent for the label's commitment to quality and innovation.
Under the stewardship of Ant TC1, who transitioned from management to production, Dispatch Recordings expanded its reach and influence. Ant's collaborations with artists like Stress Level, Survival, and DLR, along with his solo projects, have been instrumental in shaping the label's sound. His dedication to the craft is evident in the meticulous curation of releases and the nurturing of talent within the drum and bass community.
Dispatch Recordings is renowned for its deep, tech-infused sound, characterized by intricate rhythms and atmospheric textures. The label's catalogue boasts seminal works such as Octane & DLR's Method...In The Madness and Cern's Under Another Sky, both of which have received critical acclaim for their depth and production quality. The label's commitment to excellence is further exemplified by its History Remastered series, which revisits and revitalizes classic tracks for new audiences.
Beyond its impressive discography, Dispatch Recordings has made significant contributions to the live music scene. Hosting events at renowned venues and festivals, including Outlook Festival and E1 London, the label has provided platforms for artists to showcase their work to diverse audiences. These events have been pivotal in fostering a sense of community and pushing the boundaries of the genre.
With a legacy spanning over two decades, Dispatch Recordings continues to be a driving force in drum and bass, consistently delivering forward-thinking music while honouring the genre's rich history. The label's unwavering dedication to quality and innovation ensures its continued relevance and influence in the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music.
